Itinerary

Experience the natural beauty and marine life of Southwest Florida up-close with a paddlecraft rental of your choosing! This self-guided outing allows you to set the pace and paddle as much or as little as you want! We offer both standard and CLEAR kayak and Paddleboards. PFDs and dry boxes are included, along with a well-marked map of the island that we'll go over with you before sending you off to explore. Our Five-Star paddle routes take you through Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico’s most incredible wildlife habitat... including mangrove tunnels, secluded beaches, and prime shelling areas! Be on the lookout for dolphins and manatees! Don't just take our word on what an awesome area this is... our guided tour received TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award for 2022, putting us in the top 10% of all worldwide tours! If you'd like to take our guided tour instead please see our Viator listing "Guided Island Tour - CLEAR (or Standard) Kayak or Paddleboard - Bonita Springs". Our friendly and biologist trained guides will not disappoint! We use top quality standard kayaks and paddleboards that are comfortable and easy to paddle. We also have CLEAR kayaks and the only CLEAR paddleboards in the area! If you are new to paddlesports please let us know and we'll explain everything you need to know to get started. Please note that CLEAR kayaks have a total passenger weight limit of 400 pounds per boat and a maximum of 225 pounds per seat. Our Standard single and tandem kayaks have higher limits and track through the water better... please contact us if you have any questions! Minimum age is 3 years old. We have youth sized PFDs but suggest that parents provide a quality, fitted PFD for children under 50 pounds.
